The shield logo on Superman’s chest has certainly evolved since its first appearance back in 1938 -- then just a simple squiggle "S" inside a yellow triangle. These days it is one of the world’s most recognizable symbols. But is it really an "S"? The symbol hails from the planet Krypton and is the crest of Superman’s family home, so the fact that it looks like an Earth "S" must be a coincidence. Or is it actually what comic artist John Byrne said he thought it was in his youth: two yellow fishes swimming toward each other?
